Pepper Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 May be a coincidence but I think I may have stumbled upon the source of this outage - my 76 year old maw managed to reply to a family whatsapp group message by e-mail yesterday. Fully expect Defcon 1 by this time tomorrow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
